I'm really glad to see that Mr. Zimmerman is getting on with his life as best he can with Liberal Dweeb-assed America doing what they do best which is either spin the truth or just outright lie, which is all they know how to do.

E&E (escape & evasion) would be my first choice, I'd only stop if I was forced to & I'd only engage if I was engaged first. But once engaged I'd do anything & everything to protect my family, even if that means dozens of rioters had to die to do so.

Personally, I think if you just started handing out job applications, the situation would clear out in just a few minutes!

Yeah haha! Rest in peace PePe Le Pew! I tell you what though, the older I get the more my respect for animals surpasses my respect for mankind. They do what they do and have always done. Man is just a bunch of hypocrites.

I'm betting on 2am boredom creating a phishing expedition. The bulb out was reason enough to make the stop. Then it's time to play "what's inside car #1?"

For some people, it's not another chore that needs doing, it's a hobby and a lifestyle of choice. Therefore, it's much like a TRUE Christian. If its all for naught, then in the end, nothing is lost because the journey was enjoyable. I actually USE a lot of what some call preps. I rotate food. I actually SHOOT my ammo instead of hoarding it up. I use the oldest and replace it with fresh goods. If this is all for nothing, so what? When I die, I won't care anyway. Maybe after I'm gone, what I've put away may make the difference between life and death to a man and his wife and kids. If I don't use what I tuck away and after I'm gone, some random dude saves the life of his little girl because he happened upon my stash or stuff then my labor was WELL worth my time.

I wanted to post in this thread, but how can I follow that??

I am done fiddling on gross parts. I may tweak the triggers, bedding, and maybe get a couple of barrels rechambered, or if I fall into another stock and receiver I could put one more together with spare parts. However, these 5 are it for the foreseeable future. From top to bottom: 1) Barrel: 29" Bentz chambered Urban Rifle Supply standard taper; Stock: Archangel target; Scope: Swift 6-18AO Mildot; Bolt stock 2) Barrel: 29" Bentz chambered Green Mountain standard taper; Stock: Archangel target; Scope: Tasco Varmint 6-24AO Mildot; Bolt stock 3) Barrel: 24" Green Mountain Running Boar; Stock: OEM carbine stock cut and painted; Optic: C-More red dot; Bolt stock 4) Barrel: Green Mountain varmint taper rechambered and crowned; Stock: OEM DSP modified; Scope: Mueller 4.5-14AO duplex; Bolt refaced, headspaced and firing pin pinned 5) Barrel: OEM Ruger 16" threaded rechambered and crowned by Que; Stock is OEM modified birch stock; Scope is Simmons .22Mag 3-9AO duplex; bolt refaced, headspaced and firing pin pinned. The top 3 are currently play rifles with trigger varying from 2lbs to 3.5lbs. The bottom two have triggers in the sub 3lb category. No. 4 is a verifiable sub MOA .22 (groups less than an inch at 100 yards). No 5 probably will be capable of that but remains to be verified.

If I were Mr Zimmerman if be thinking about leaving the country before the NAACP and the feds linch him. He's innocent but what does that matter to this administration?

The other day I was letting my dog out and she hates getting her feet wet. She walked to the edge of the grass, looked at me, then turned around and walked back inside. This got me to thinking that there must be something wet for her to refuse to step out into the grass. Well I walked through the grass and my shoes as well as my pants became soaked inside of 10 feet. I bet I could take a towel and drag it through my yard most mornings and get a few gallons of water. I live on the side of a mountain so I do get a substantial temperature difference.   I am sure it is also dependent on the humidity but it is something to think about for those of you who are in a place where water might be hard to come by.   Heck, a lot of mornings the dew runs off the roof. If it weren't for all the leaves I would put up gutters.

You guys just reminded me I need to put my pistol back in my truck :ugh:

A lot of confusion develops when you try to value one life before another, woman, child, officer, or whomever. As a LEO I can tell you that most LEO's will risk if not give their life to save another, no matter who's life it is. Chances are this LEO had reason to believe this person was a huge threat to himself and others. What I can tell you is that any criminal considering killing a police officer will kill anyone for any reason.

Yep. That moron has several "accidental discharge" videos.

If I had a longer beard and bigger hammer, I'd look like this: sent barefoot from the hills of Tennessee

I was actually just looking at these myself. I've always heard great things about them. I just want them all!

Some folks want to act as if McCain is some kind of anomaly within the Republican party but that simply is not the case.  I mean, this guy was chosen as their candidate for President in the next to last election.  That means enough Republicans (or, at least, enough of the Republicans that matter - the ones who really pull the puppet strings) thought he represented everything the party believes and stands for that he was picked as their '#1 guy' less than eight years ago.  Perhaps even more than the Obama vs. Romney nonchoice, the Obama vs. McCain election was proof positive that it really doesn't matter which side of the plug nickel we vote for as the 'differences' between the two major parties really aren't all that different.  McCain is simply confirming that fact, again.

  Not only that but if you suggest that you might vote for a third party, they get all butt-hurt that you would dare to vote for someone other than the 'big two' and start crying about how you are just wasting your vote, how you might as well be voting for (whichever candidate they don't like - ironically, people from both parties use that tired, old argument) and how all the popular kids are going to laugh at you if you don't go along with the crowd.  What they refuse to see is it doesn't matter if a significant number of people voting for the third party prevents 'their' guy from winning because 'their' guy isn't really any different from the 'other' guy, anyhow.   Funny thing is, those who argue that a third party 'can't win' (which, as you pointed out, is a self-fulfilling prophecy until enough folks stop believing that bullcrap and have the cajones to try voting for someone other than heads or tails) are kind of making the other point I am arguing - that voting is, essentially, useless because neither of the big two are going to make any, significant improvements and any third party candidate who might (or might not) make improvements has no chance of winning.  Once, again, bread and circuses.

Can't speak to the Mark III but a Mark II is one of those pistols everyone should have at least one of.    Regardless, they were all designed by Satan and are a PITA to disassemble/assemble.

Zimmermann Truthers, how about that for a twist  :rofl:   http://youtu.be/HQPI8WMDP44

Yep, if people are blocking an ambulance just for the sake of being a bunch of screwheads there is no moral issue with that ambulance turning them into stains on the asphalt. This wasn't a protest; this was simply a mob looking to intimidate and terrorize innocent people. None of these so-called "protesters" I would classify as a human being deserving of the same rights as you or I. At the least they deserve to be thrown in jail.... at most they deserve to be hurled into the sun.

Probably those tiny little units under the SO umbrella that are secret squirrel or have a specific mission set that allows them access to special weapons orders. There are also non-standard weapons purchased for R&D. An example would be all the 6.8 uppers bought about ten years ago that never went anywhere due to ammo constraints.

Yep. I'd give one of my gold Pmags to someone who finds a legitimate SEAL who calls himself SF. Like calling a Marine a Soldier.... nails on a chalkboard for both.

Dang guys.  Just south park the darn thing and have done with it.   "ITS COMIN RIGHT FOR US" BLAM.   Problem solved.

http://gearhungry.com   It ranges from billionaire luxury items to really neat items that you could actually use that cost merely a few bucks. It has a lot of products I had never thought of until now. The one that got me was a lenscap adapter that fits in the bipod mount on your DSLR. Take your lenscap off, attach it to the bottom of the camera!   Something else interesting is the generator built onto your bike that charges your phone:   http://gearhungry.com/2013/05/siva-cycle-atom.html   I'm thinking something like this and a large capacity iPod Touch/iPhone would be indispensable in SHTF. Neat alternative to solar for mobile devices!  

     FTFY.

They make a laser designator designed to light up targets for nvd's at long range. I think the law is in reference to that, not laser grips or similar.

East Tennessee is God's country. I'm a Nashville guy, and probably always will be. It still just doesn't get any prettier than the eastern part of the state.

If we had a tyrannical government it would look like the current admistration

Skittles delivery truck? Sorry guys, I couldn't help myself! Good for Zman. He needs some positive things happening in his life.   Dave

Would it be in bad taste if I said Zimmerman "should have stayed in his truck"?   I mean over the past 18 months of so I was beat over the head with that "should have stayed in his truck" statement! ;)

if your aunt had a pecker she would look like your uncle

Did he have on his hat? I heard it's not official if he doesn't wear his hat.    I only got pulled over once and it was for speeding. Not sure what he did about the other 6 cars in the park I was going with the flow with LOL.

Those options are greatly reduced if your children are in the car. Be a bad day for those pieces of #&&@! if they forced me to make the decision, my family or them, is no question.

No worries man, in the hands of the police, those are just defensive weapons and not an assault rifle.  You're analyzing the situation wrong!

Those may not be friends

I keep reading how everyone is pissed off at the Republicans and the Democrats, some sort of revolutionary change is needed, but nobody wants to start that revolution as the founders of this democratic republic intended, which is through the ballot box. We all know the two major parties aren't looking out for our interests nor are they going to change, but when it comes to Election Day, virtually everyone runs to the polls and votes for one of the two major parties anyhow. When anyone suggests a third party, like the Libertarian Party, nobody will vote because "they can't win." Well no frigging wonder. The overwhelming majority of Americans have voluntarily enslaved themselves to the two major parties, which is exactly where they want you. I'm a believer in the old saying, we get the government we deserve and anyone who votes for any Republican Party or Democratic Party member is getting the tyranny they deserve. Then there is the Tea Party, which is a bunch of establishment Republicans who know how to talk a good game and dupe people into voting for them. Even the caucus' former leader Michelle Bachman made it very clear that the Tea Party Caucus was nothing more than a "repository for ideas" and that the opinions of constituents was basically meaningless. Keep drinking the two-party Kool Aid folks. That's what they are scaring you and paying you off with government benefits to do.

I am so sick of this crap.  So a black youth gets killed by a white neighborhood watchman and the world goes crazy.  We have a full year of media insanity over this case, and its all because a white man killed a black kid.  Where was the media outrage and frenzy when a bunch of black folks gangraped, tortured and executed two white folks (Christian / Newsom)?  God this is ridiculous.  

  Well, there is 'white' and then there is 'white'.  See, all the 'hispanic', 'white', 'arabic' nonsense is just that - nonsense.  Those terms actually refer to comparatively minor difference which really only denote subgroups, not 'races'.  From a skeletal biology/evolutionary standpoint there are actually only three races:   1. Caucasoid.  This includes 'whites', 'arabs', 'hispanics' and, believe it or not, even Australian aboriginals (despite their dark skin.)  Features of a skull that indicate probability of being a caucasoid are the presence of a nasal seal, slight 'overbite' of the incisors with a lack of sub-nasal prognathism.  Largely North African/European in origin.   2. Negroid.  This refers mostly to people who can trace their modern ancestry to South Africa - i.e. 'black' people, African-Americans, etc. (which is another misnomer as all modern humans can trace at least part of their origins to some part of Africa or another so, technically, if going by ancestry we are ALL, ultimately, African-Americans in one way or another.)  Skull features of this racial group generally include the lack of a nasal seal, a comparatively broad nasal aperture and the presence of sub-nasal prognathism.   3. Mongloid.  This group includes most Asians and peoples of Asian ancestry - including Native Americans (which is further proof that Native American ancestors were of Asian stock and crossed a 'land bridge' to North America.)  Features of the skull include flaring zygomatic (cheek) bones, an edge-to-edge bite pattern (meaning the occlusal surfaces of the incisors meet, i.e. the top incisors rest directly on the bottom ones) and 'shovel-shaped' incisors.   Three races.  That is it.  'Hispanic' is an ethnic group, not a race.  So, Zimmerman is a Caucasoid - just like any 'whitey'.    All that said, what the heck all of this has to do with whether or not Zimmerman acted in self defense I am not sure.  Maybe the fact that Martin was black contributed to Zimmerman's suspicion of him and maybe not.  I have said and will always believe that Zimmerman's decision to follow Martin was a bad idea but it really doesn't matter why he decided to do so.  Once Martin attacked him, he acted in self defense.  Ultimately - even though some people (myself included) believe that Zimmerman's decisions contributed to setting up a bad situation - the trial came down to whether or not he ultimately acted in self defense, just as it should have, and Zimmerman was found not guilty, just as he should have been.

I served in the navy in 65-69 and I can tell you that seeing the panthers in uniforms and carrying spears standing in formation outside the port athority in new york was a real wake up for me. I may have started this thread in the wrong place but I did it accidently and with good intentions. It's not about Zimmerman it's about This country's survival.

  Seriously?  If the OP wants to start a new thread about it, so be it.  We certainly didn't stop the other 38 threads.

A house surrounded by treadmills attached to a generator. They can run fast all they want while giving me power.

  The ' taking breaks' doesn't bother me as much as some of his 'advice'.  Being that I am not former SAS, etc. I am pretty sure that telling me (and 99% of the rest of his viewers) to go ahead and jump off of that waterfall - just be sure to land feet-first - in a survival situation where there isn't a camera crew there to help rescue me and a broken leg, especially in cold water, means almost certain death is probably not very good 'advice'.   That is why I say that 'Man vs. Wild' was about Bear Grylls, extreme outdoorsman and adventurer and not about what most, normal people should do in a survival situation.  In that context, it was entertaining to watch but comprised pretty much the opposite of 'survival advice'.  But that is just my opinion.

I turned it on right about the time they were doing the urine/muddy water competition and changed the channel before the competition was over.  I think of BG as more of an extreme outdoorsman/thrill seeker than someone I would try to emulate in a survival situation.  I think that following the advice/examples of Les Stroud (Survivorman) would be a lot more likely to get a person out alive and in one piece.

I'd buy Mt. Eagle Tennessee near Chatanooga. and evict all the occupants. Set up a camp there.

I might just buy myself a Senate seat.  The initial investment would be greatly rewarded and if the S does HTF you'd not only have the full force of the US military (or some semblance of it) behind you, including Air Force to get you where you need to go, not to mention all the other perks available only to the ruling class like fully stocked bunkers.
